I've been wearing contacts for at least 35 years and have really liked them for the most part. I use them when I go surfing and when I was playing hockey and haven't had many problems. I've had them go into the corner of my eye a few times but it's usually if they're dirty or I kept them in too long. I think I've only lost one that popped out in all that time of being in the water and all sorts of other sports.
I miss paper tickets.
What the f*** man?
Have you gone to McSorley's yet?Today was a great hockey day in Finland. The regular season ends tomorrow. Two teams Ilves (Lynxes) and Tappara (double-edged axe) are 1st and 2nd in the league. The winner of the game is the regular season champs, they played against each other tonight!!
Obviously my team, Ilves, lost. 1st time since 1985 (our latest cup) we had a chance of being something. But not tonight, Tappara, reigning champs, beat us 5-3.
How to cope?
The marvelous United States of America provides a 31-year-old man with... dive bars. Yes! I am sitting in the best (or the worst?) Manhattan dive, the Johnnys, as i write this message.
There is no better coping mechanism. A Bud and a JimB made me feel already a whole lot better! We'll beat those SoBs in the finals...
Edit: I should quote this message in my Green Card app. And show my 2003 stanley cup champs mock ring
No, its not a dive.
Thats like 300 in Finnish markka! You could play a whole Popeda CD with that.A short tale of American wealth:
Someone put $50 into the jukebox and only played one song and left
Thank you very Much.... i am on it haha
KC has great BBQ. That’s a must try while you are here. Also find whatever is the best Cajun restaurant in the area.
McSorley’s is a historic NY landmark and drinking establishment. Their in house brew is rich and smooth and unique to them. Definitely worth the effort to go there.
Ive had KC BBQ, was very good! Maybe a tad sweet to my liking, though.
The US has four regional variations of BBQ. KC and Memphis asre similar with ribs thr specialty and both are fairly sweet with KC being a bit sweeter. Then TX is beef brisket with a dry rub of salt and pepper typically. Then NC is finely a chopped pork shoulder usually in a vinegar sauce with a hint of sweetness so balance the vinegar. All have their merits and are worth your time to seek out. Cajun food is spicy and has more variety but you should try boiled crawfish and jambalaya which is a rice based dish and gumbo which is a hearty stew.
My mistake in KC was that i didnt get the ribs. But my friend did and they were freaking delicious. But i had my own mountain of food to consume so left it at that one bite
You can get a brisket at most places in Memphis or KC but it won’t be quite the same as in Texas. You can get ribs in Texas or NC but they won’t be the same as in KC or Memphis. Like you can get Swedish meatballs at ikea but they won’t the same as you would find in a specialty restaurant in Stockholm.My mistake in KC was that i didnt get the ribs. But my friend did and they were freaking delicious. But i had my own mountain of food to consume so left it at that one bite
I didnt know that the different BBQs also favor different pieces of meat. I just thought they're different styles of sauce/glazing.
I was playing my Nord keyboard with the B3 emulator. First time I set up the sustain pedal to control the Leslie speaker speed... It was epic. Ended up closing out the night singing War Pigs and The Wizard for guys who absolutely nailed Sabbath. Fun. Fun. Fun. Took me to today to recover. Old. Old. Old.
Having family in the northeast and south from Florida to Texas I’d suggest that you can live anywhere these days, you may not have as many choices for things but the US is smaller than it has ever been in many respects.
